Edition dedicated to Elizabeth Wiese 1987-2019.Author: For the past few years I avoided thinking about writing this, but deep down I knew that this moment would come one day.
I still remember the moment many years ago when Elizabeth Wiese and I along with several friends were out enjoying cocktails, inspired by excellent company, the crazy idea of creating The Weathering Magazine was introduced. The best ideas always come to mind when you are relaxed and having fun, and that wild idea of creating a magazine focused only on modeling techniques featuring beautiful hostess in each issue became a reality soon after. Elizabeth was the type of person who enjoyed adding fuel to the fire, so she took an active role in the creation of the magazine from the very beginning. The concept immediately benefited from her choosing the aesthetic and specifically by shaping the character of Akatsiya, who starred in our pages for a few years. It is interesting that this aspect was criticized by some readers as somewhat sexist, when the idea, wardrobe, and the direction of photo sessions was actually conceived of and directed by a powerful and intelligent woman who also chose to appear herself in several issues. The trivial ontroversy is ancient history now. When Eli began to suffer from the physical effects of cancer, she gradually lost the vitality and drive required to continue gui ding aspects of the magazine, and today the provocative Akatsiya is only a distant memory. That playful and carefree angle was a true reflection of one of the creators of The Weathering Magazine in particular, and the entire AMMO project in general. Many of you will also remember that she also wrote informative product reviews and appeared in articles to share modeling events from around the world with you. Eli was always surrounded by modellers who valued her as an energetic and forward thinking promoter of our hobby, always absorbed in the organization of online contests, events, and modeling shows all over the world. Her passing on December 30th, 2019 at the age of 32, closes a chapter in the history of AMMO of Mig Ji menez, TWM, and TWA. In the past two months, we have received tens of thousands of messages of condolence and support through social media expressing appreciation for her contributions to the global modeling community. Elizabeth, the creator of this ma gazine and one of the founders of AMMO, my wife and mother of my son, leaves a huge void in these pages and in our hearts forever. Wherever you are, this magazine will always carry your name and your memory, these pages will always beam with your joy, the inspiring modeling and informative articles will always reflect your creativity and generosi ty. Thank you for giving us the best years of your life. I want to thank each of you
for giving her so much love in life and after her death.
